“"Having the feature-length films fully integrated in each chapter makes for a richer experience for the students at the intermediate level. The concept works really well as a springboard for discussion and writing assignments. For me, the Avant le visionnement section with a cultural notes opener and vocabulary exercises and the Aprs avoir visionn section are the strongest components of the textbook. The grammar explanations are well written, and it is nice to see them fully in French in a textbook at this level." --Sandra Trapani, University of Missouri St. Louis”
